Before Engine Starting
Machine Condition
Every day before starting engine for first time, perform the
following checks and repair machine before operating, as
necessary. If these checks are not properly done death or
serious injury could result.
•
Check coolant, fuel, and hydraulic tank oil levels, and
check for clogged air cleaner and damage to electrical
wiring.
•
Check operation of gauges, cameras (if equipped) and
angle of mirrors, and check that safety lever is in LOCKED
position.
•
Check that work equipment and travel controls move
freely, and work controls return to "NEUTRAL" when
released.
•
Check that attachment is properly attached and locked.
Make sure that the machine is equipped with a lighting system
that is adequate for job conditions and lights are working
properly.
Before moving machine, check position of undercarriage. The
normal travel position is with idler wheels to front under cabin
and drive sprockets to rear. When undercarriage is rotated in
reversed position, directional or travel controls must be operated
in opposite directions.
Before performing checks, move machine to an area where
there are no obstructions, and operate slowly. Do not allow
personnel near machine.
Know maximum operating dimensions of your machine.
